Ah, great.  That is what I was looking for.

The default may be fine, but even after several days of using notebook

(which I am really excited to use btw!), I still have been unable to  
reprogram

my fingers. I realized now that this is due to several other programs  
too:

* Most terminal applications execute after enter (python, ipython, etc.)

* Programs that allow multiline input use shift-enter to do this.  In  
particular,

   Skype behaves this way, as do many web-based forms.



I am not trying to argue that the default should be swapped, but  
pointing out

that it may not be completely intuitive... but given a way of locally  
changing

this, it becomes a non-issue.  I will post back to verify that it works.



Michael.



P.S. Sorry about the double post - I think it was because I had not  
registered

my +ipython alias properly so my first post did not go through.  I  
fixed the alias,

reposted (the message appeared immediately), but eventually my  
original message

trickled through.



P.P.S. If I have any comments (rather than questions) about the  
notebook experience,

should I start discussions here, or register and directly add them to  
the wiki?
